So, who's going to pre-order the new mbps right away? (If it gets released)
ME!
If we get both, a fully loaded 15". If we only get the 13", base model with the intention of selling when the 15s come out. Don't care if I'll lose money, at this point, I just want a new Pro.

My dad said he'd buy me any laptop I wanted for college, so I have a free pass now ^_^
A pimped out 15" will do

You should get the applercare plus, max out the 15 inch, and buy all the accessories (adapter, laptop case, whatever)
Should be able to reach $4000
I'm gonna go with the 13" with 256 GB storage. Can finally retire my 13" 2010, who has been through a lot! (A North Korean soldier has watched a movie on it for example)
Same situation here, except that back when I graduated I said to him: "I'll wait for the Skylake rMBP". Here I am still waiting. Im going to max it out because I intend to keep it for a long time....and also because my parents are paying for it.Me

Edit: wanted to clarify that is not actually skylake (It's just Haswell 1.5, when you think about it) I'm waiting for per se, but Thunderbolt 3 specifically. Don't care about new design, I just WANT that port.

Sign me up for all of that
- except the Applecare; I like to live dangerously 
A 15" with 512GB. Unless, in the rare case they release an updated Thunderbolt Display, I'll think about a 13" paired with a TB display.
I'm trying to transition from a 27" iMac (non retina) to a 15" as my main computer for photo editing but I think I will miss the screen size.
One tiny little rumour on a non-Apple news source and the crowd goes wild
Been watching this thread for the few months, more so the past 3 weeks. If nothing happens on Monday I might go for a refurb 2.5 or 2.8 16/1TB as I'm down to a 13inch Air for work and need a home machine with a larger screen. Here's hoping prices drop or something's announced that can be ordered on Monday.
I am. The cheapest 13" with 512GB and 16GB RAM will do me.
Then also would probably need a USB-C hub and a TB2 to TB3 adaptor.
Let's be honest though, none of that is getting ordered until September...
I'm hoping reverse psychology will work.
Me, 13''(/14'') maxed out (a space grey one), with apple care and a spare charger.

Stock models for 13" and 15" MacBook Pros in Australia ship earliest by this Wednesday but idk if that's normal or not, I remember they used to ship within 1 business day.
If new rMBPs were shipping on Monday, it would say "Available to ship: 1 Business day" or something like that.
If new rMBPs are announced, its definitely going to be a preorder or they aren't shipping for awhile. It also means we aren't even getting a refresh...
Is there a "Waiting for watch bands" thread somewhere, full of happy folks who always get what they want? That would be a cheery place.
